ABOUT ME
I am a licensed clinical social worker with almost twenty years of practice in the field. I received my Bachelors degree in Psychology from Georgetown University in Washington DC and my Masters degree in Social Work from Smith College School for Social work in Northampton, MA.
Additionally, I hold a two-year certificate in psychodynamic theory and clinical practice, with a focus on the neurobiology of attachment theory from The Sanville Institute.
Currently, I am an adjunct faculty member at the University of Southern California, Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work, teaching advanced practice classes to masters level social work students.
My therapeutic approach is informed by psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, affect regulation and polyvagal theory, trauma-focused somatic theories, current neuroscience, and by years of postgraduate continuing education and training. I have significant professional development in the modalities listed below:
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy - ICEEFT externship & supervision
Level II Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
Level II Trauma Resiliency Model
UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center training for mindfulness-based psychotherapy
Certified Sexual Assault Counselor in the state of California
I have substantial experience working with survivors of serious traumas, including sexual assault, medical traumas and oncology patients, and complex grief.
Today, I regularly see individuals and couples hoping to improve their relationships to their bodies, sex and intimacy, as well as people and couples navigating loss and transformative phases; parenthood, separation & divorce, consensual non-monogamy and polyamorous lifestyles, queer folks. In recent years I’ve explored, both academically and experientially, the profound relationship between technology and isolation, helping to understand the impacts of our virtual experiences on our everyday lives.
I provide supervision and consultation and licensure support for MSW and MFT interns.
